ing insolence of 1884 in the COM
ing national campaign.
a careful reading and study of
the article on our first page, under
the heading of democratic Ar
fragment" will account for the
failure of that crop of half dollars
of which we heard so much in the
last presidential campaign.
The new Code is still in the
hands of the publishers and bind
ers. AS the last legislature began
to amend and mutilate it before it
was quite finished, we would sug-
gest that it be held up till after
next winter to give another batch
of law cobblers a chance, at its
perfecting.
In a letter addressed to a prOmi.
nent Democrat Of AccOmac county
Hon. John S. Barbour announces
his firm adherence to the Riddle
berger debt settlement, aud says in
| substance that his party will stand
by their pledge to maintain it,
This is the first time Mr.. Barbour
has put himself in writing and
print on this subject.
\ Kentuckian Of forty summers
brings comfort to all anti-Prohibi-
honists by Affirming that he has
not drunk anything but whisky
since he was sixteen. He will be
in demand IN Texas this fall, where
a specimen of his caliber is neces-
sary to counterfeit the influence Of
a frightful example.
A missionary in Africa found a
heather tribe worshipingan Episco-
pal prayer book, and was encOur-
aged to think that his lines had
fallen in pleasant places. He
wanted to 90 home when he learned
that the heather had adopted the
book as an idol on account of its
gilded edges, after eating the mis-
siOnary who owned it.
\ Chicago couple kissed in a
parlOr so that the OSCILLATION was
seen across the street. Some en-
vicus spinsters and bachelors
charged the kissers with dlsOrderly
conduct, but the judge promptly
dismissed the case because both the
accused were handsome, and there
was, therefore, no harm done. The
Judges name is not Solomon, but 1t
ought to be.
An unusually sad tragedy is re-
ported from Michigan. A lady put
phosphorus on her bunlOn and re-
tired. Her husband coming IN
later at night saw a glazing thing,
and threw a bOoGack at it. The
result was more exciting than he
expected, and in the future he will
throw no moro bootacks, even if
an aurora bOrealis invades his
room.
An Indiana man sold his wife for
three hundred dollars, and took the
new husbands note in payment.
The purchaser now refuses to pay
the note. If there is any moral to
a case like this, it is that when a
husband sells his wife he should
demand cash payment. In the
business of selling wives and hus-
bands the credit system is a mis-
take.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is en-
inently right in demanding a sensi-
bic hot weather dress for men.-
Civilization has produced many
benefits, but it made an egregious
error when it cut out the present
attire that the ordinary man has to
wear. What is wanted is some
thing simple, and as little Of it
as possible. Oh, for a return to
the good old days when one sus-
pender and a pair of linen trousers
satisfied mans craving for clothes !!
The PROCESS being made in medi.
